Many times, when we correct our children, we set an inappropriate punishment for their action. We must keep in mind that it should be a cause and effect situation. This makes the action clear to young children and we have a better chance of it not happening again. For example, if they ate cookies before dinner after being told not to, the punishment cannot be that they don´t go to the park the next day. That won´t make any sense to them. However, if the punishment it that there is no dessert, we do enforce a cause and effect action. Each household is different and each mother knows what can be allowed and what can´t, so only you can set corrections. Just keep in mind that the clearer we are with our children, the better. Next time you have to correct your children remember cause and effect, their misbehavior must have a logical consecuence.
